life which includes the Egyptian goose and a variety of ducks that come from
Europe to winter. This park is truly a bird watchers paradise. The park is also
a sanctuary for the white rhino among other wild game. Lake Nakuru is among
Kenya's finest national parks. Flanked by rocky escarpments, pockets of acacia
forest and at least one waterfall, the park is gorgeous year-round and is home
to both black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, hippos and endangered
Rothschild giraffes. Rising water levels in 2014 forced the park's famous
flamingos to flee (although a small number had returned at the time of
research) and the lake is now hauntingly surrounded by drowned trees. Return to
the hotel for dinner and overnight.
